Schumacher: “This is a very interesting track with a challenging layout” said Michael after the two practice sessions. “It’s certainly enjoyable to drive. As we expected, off-line it is extremely dusty but the racing line became quite grippy over the day. This morning, I was happy with the balance of the car, however this afternoon was more challenging for us.

We weren’t really able to get into working properly for various reasons, including the red flag, and therefore tomorrow we need to work on the set-up for both qualifying and the race.”

Rosberg: After the first day of action at the new Buddh International Circuit, Nico was very enthusiastic about the layout: “The new track here in India is awesome. It has some very interesting corners, and that’s why it takes a bit longer to get used to the layout than at some of the other new circuits.

Turn two for example is very different; you come from downhill, then go up looking into the sky and so you see the hairpin very late, just before you arrive. In general we had two good sessions and learned quite a few things today so I have a good feeling for this weekend. Hopefully that feeling will continue tomorrow.”

"I was expecting to be sweating a lot"

I think someone got excited, if he's listening

Wow.

When was the last time Felipe Massa topped any timed session?

They've kept the grass in some clever places here. Tilke does actually pay attention to feedback from fans it seems, because there is a fair chance of being punished if you run off road here.

What part of FP1 did the dog get out onto the track?
